While American politicians are ALWAYS asking for more money for their campaigns, the British politicians only pay a fee to "stand for Parliament" like 50 pence or 50 pounds? Even if it translates to $100 dollars, it is still much less costly than billions of dollars poured into American politics!<br /><br />Perhaps Rhys or Deborah will know the answer?<br /><br />Love all of the ideas in this morning's post! Just realized that the USA Still has Not elected a woman to become President of the USA although we came very close to getting a woman president in 2016! And now we have Kamala as our Vice President. Meanwhile, Britain has had at least THREE women who became the Prime Minister. <br /><br />We only have two major political parties in the USA though there has been attempts on getting more political parties like the Green Party ? Britain has Tory, Conservative, Labour and ? Social Democrats parties. More than two political parties for sure. I was watching BORGEN a Danish tv series on Netflix when I had Netflix. It is about a woman in Danish politics and I remember there were more than two political parties.<br /><br />And I would definitely join the Sensible Party.<br /><br />Sorry this was so long...<br /><br />DianaBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-32037981981733445432023-01-01T14:38:40.026-05:002023-01-01T14:38:40.026-05:00Trying againTrying againBibliophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764234701385787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-20440838782794065322023-01-01T12:09:23.288-05:002023-01-01T12:09:23.288-05:00I'd join that party in a heartbeat.

There is no campaigning, no deriding others, and no party politics. On the local level, a body of nine people is elected. Everyone of age may vote for anyone in the community who has characteristics such as honesty, sincerity, loyalty, ability, maturity, etc. – and along with these qualities, electors are also encouraged to consider that the elected body should also be diverse, representing minorities and all ages.
